Getting Started
The Accertify APIs provide programmatic access to key platform capabilities that support fraud risk assessment, dispute management, data privacy workflows, and data retrieval. These APIs enable clients to integrate Accertify services directly into their systems, allowing them to submit data, retrieve insights, and take action as part of their operational workflows.
Each API is designed with a specific purpose, ranging from real‑time fraud evaluation and historical data analysis to chargeback management and privacy request handling. While the APIs address different use cases, they follow consistent design patterns and share common concepts, making integration predictable and scalable.
The Accertify APIs are intended to provide insight, signals, and operational control, not to execute transactions or manage payment processing. Clients use these APIs to inform decisions, automate responses, and integrate Accertify capabilities into their broader risk and operations ecosystems.
How Accertify APIs Are Used
Accertify APIs are used to submit data to the Interceptas Platform, retrieve insights, and perform operational actions as part of a client’s workflow.
Each API is designed around a specific use case—such as fraud risk evaluation, dispute management, data privacy requests, or data retrieval—and may operate synchronously or asynchronously depending on the API.
While each API has its own behavior and response patterns, they share consistent design principles and documentation structure to make integration predictable across products.
Fraud Integrations
For fraud integrations, Universal Fraud APIs are the primary API framework for new implementations.
Universal Fraud APIs provide a shared transaction model, industry-specific extensions, and a consistent request and response structure across Retail, Airline, Travel, Ticketing, Amusement, and iGaming use cases.
Legacy Fraud APIs remain available for existing integrations but are not the recommended starting point for new implementations.
